While likely anyone on a UR forum will agree with that I think a simple word search only proves the words you searched for aren't in the Bible.There are many other ways to say/imply the same. I'm not saying there are such words but I think a word search should include more that just 2 search terms.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 ...God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved...John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous ...

Mat 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.Strong's G5590 - psychē 1) breath

a) the breath of life1) the vital force which animates the body and shows itself in breathing

b) the (human) soul in so far as it is constituted that by the right use of the aids offered it by God it can attain its highest end and secure eternal blessedness, the soul regarded as a moral being designed for everlasting life

c) the soul as an essence which differs from the body and is not dissolved by death (distinguished from other parts of the body)

On a side note, anymore I personally stay away from most "soul" definitions, and death.

Why micah? This topic seems to be one of your strongest points. I have a couple of topics I feel I understand better than anything else I think I know I don't know a great deal and am still learning things as time goes by but there are a couple of topics I feel I could measure up to the best of them.

Nevermind micah, I think I misunderstood what you actually said. You said "definations", not topics.

imo the lost souls can be likened to the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness..like a sheep without

a shepherd...until 'that wicked" generation had died off/perished...then the entering in to the promises

when God sought to deliver Isreal from bondage to Pharoah in egypt...it was to take a three day

journey to offer a sacrifice...this is a parallel to Christs 3 day journey/and on the third day I shall be perfected...

as His sacrifice was pleasing unto the Lord........

a three day journey led of our true shepherd...vs a 40 year wandering til the wicked perish

Jesus walked a strait and narrow course unto Jerusalem..without veering to the right or veering to the left

much like an erect pole that bore a coiling serpent path around it[used as a sign of healing even unto today

that is how He bore our sin/errors in His flesh...our wandering lostness in the wilderness..away from

the strait and narrow leading to life...those who had been snake-bit]

the son of perdition[everlasting cutting off that perishes in the wilderness] will perish from all of us.....

Jesus and the comfortor will lead us to everlasting waters and pasture us on rich pastures......

I understand WW, my thought was most denominations in religion teach that the "job" is to save "lost souls or a lost soul," and the Bible is vacant in offering, that teaching. Now, finding that which is lost is a given.....in time.Luk 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? I believe the parable states, "until he find it.".. For me that shows of a truth, that lost sheep WILL be found. Again it is just me

Mic 7:8 Thou dost not rejoice over me, O mine enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light to me.

CHB why don't you start the soul as a topic.I have a very clear understanding of the soul, flesh and spirit.I do not have a clear understanding of how to start a new thread or post

The soul is not a subject that I have a clear understanding of.

CHB

The FIRST thing to KNOW is that you, as a human being are a soul. All persons are souls. The Lord God did not give you a soul, you are a soul. The Lord God when He breathed into the formed dust of the ground, man became a living soul(human being) a person. (Gen. 2:7) The Greek language(or intelligence) assumed or decided that human emotions and appetites were the soul, rather than our sentient being. Man does not have an "immortal soul" of a truth man does not have a soul, man has feelings, emotions, appetites, desires all the mechanisms that make us want. Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. God gave man the desires and appetites, and hungers that amplified mans feelings, our nature. The Christian Bible is the only translation I have found that gives souls their proper perspective. Once one can see that we are souls and souls are not our motivation, I believe the thought process is solved. I am very small minority. I also believe the theory, that man is made up of body-soul-spirit is the staple of trinity evolution. (OOPS....A subject not allowed.) Point according to the Bible, man is a soul, he does not have a soul.

Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts;

even one thing befalleth them:

as the one dieth, so dieth the other;

yea, they have all one breath;

so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast:

for all [is] vanity.

Then you get it!

So your father no longer owns it.

A mother can take ownership of her son and be responsible forhis deeds and words.Then the young man marries and takes ownership of his children and Wife.

The mother is not in ownership of the son.When the young mans father is no longer in his role.The young man will take owner ship of the whole family including the the mom.

A father retires from his business.He saw that the son is better or the same as him at running the business.Then there is a special day that it is announced to the world.That the Son is now the owner of the business and anything pertaining to it.

The Father rests. Whether he still believes the business is still his or not is something he keeps to himself for he would never undermine his son.
